๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• Thereโ€™s no better way to spend a Monday evening than dancing with friends ๐Ÿฅฐ Beautiful music, La Rubia teaching away, the convivial hubbub of everyone working together and helping each other practice on our second night of boleos. It was wonderful to see the skills building from the week before so everyone could really start playing with this to the different accents within the music. Your attitude, effort and improvement is our constant joy! See you next week! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• Working on those boleos! Lots of pivoting practice and really challenging our cores! The pretty swans have got a lot of serious paddling going on under the surface! Just as we did with our giro practice we have our leads taking a walk on the โ€˜follow sideโ€™ so they not only understand what they are asking of their partners but can also start to visualise the relationship and its exchange of energy in a truly holistic manner. More sass next week! See you there ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• La Rubia on the road again demoing with Pablo Nievasโ€ฆ..the eternal student is the path to mastery. ๐Ÿ˜Š We are all taking classes, learning and training, constantly rediscovering the art through new perspectives, the joy is that the journey never ends ๐Ÿฅฐ We were back on session two of our sacada work on Monday, the connections are deepening as we build the awareness and aliveness in our tango bodiesโ€ฆ..itโ€™s a beautiful thing, this is where the magic happensโ€ฆ..next Monday we get sassy with the boleo! Vamos! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• The โ€˜last Thursday of the month clubโ€™ ๐Ÿฅฐ Tango intensive. We grind out those flaws through repetition of the basics, which of course arenโ€™t remotely basic at all. To walk and pivot smoothly with ease and elegance requires an enormous amount of coordination and balance. We are training our bodies to execute precise movements in a new and unfamiliar order to our natural โ€˜fallingโ€™ gait. We are all on the path of refining this movement and practice makes perfect, well it doesnโ€™t really, practice makes โ€˜a bit better than last timeโ€™ which is all we can ask for. It can always be better, always, always, alwaysโ€ฆ..๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜‰ There is no end goal, itโ€™s all training, the wobbles are learning, the giggles are free ๐Ÿ˜Š As always we thank you for your sincerity in the work, your smiles and your hearts always open to the process, see you next time! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• We snuck upstairs Monday for a restricted space workshop focusing on how to keep dancing when the floor is busy and we canโ€™t make progress around the ronda. We arrested steps and slowed down our movements utilising our dissociation to create space where there appears to be none and using the pause and suspension to create variety and drama. We worked on our ochos, giros, calesitas and paradas breaking out of set patterns and learning to improvise on the spot. We worked on strengthening the couples partnership with our floor craft, our leads protecting our follows and our follows covering our leads blind spot. Tango is a team game, itโ€™s lead and follow working together within the dance and all the couples at the milonga working together within the ronda to keep it flowing. At La Rubia we are committed to teaching you practical steps that set you up for success and confidence when you go out dancing, as always you rise to the occasion and we had a great class. Thank you for your hard work and your enthusiasm! See you next time back in the big hall! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• We revisited our closed side work, the ochos proved easy, the crusada and the interchange between parallel and cross system proved to be a bit of a brain bender! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜„ We tend to fall into patterns of behaviour when we first learn that we need to challenge and break so we can start to see all the possibilities and the endless variations of tango. Step out of those comfort zones and suddenly we start switching on lightbulbs in previously undiscovered rooms in our tango brains. Initially there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachmentโ€ฆโ€ฆit will all fall into place the more we work on it, as ever we approach these things with genuine effort and good humour and learn to enjoy the learning process. We love your enthusiasm and your patience, we love dancing with you! See you next time! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–
